Jerk Spiced Paneer

All spice is an important ingredient in the Jerk spice mix and this one spice eluded me for long until I decided I had to make the jerk spiced chicken..err paneer for my family..

I loved the taste even when DH had the standard look on his face while eating it - sometimes he eats new dishes as if he eats them daily, when I prod about taste or some feedback , he will say "yes nice, but nothing unusual". I dont always believe those words because these words pop out whenever he is distracted either due to work or some sports event on TV..anyway...let me not digress any further ...let us go back to the beautiful carribean islands
